Tryouts for the District 5 8- and 9-year old travel ball tryouts will be held at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Ruston Dixie Baseball Complex on Ballpark Road.

There is no charge to try out for and join the team if accepted.

Athletes trying out are asked to bring a glove and bat if they have one along with a baseball cap and baseball pants. Catchers are also asked to bring their own equipment if trying out for that position.

“One of the things we work on is sliding techniques, so no shorts,” Parkman said.
